A New Bat-Series On The CW?
Almost seven years after development was announced for Birds of Prey, The CW is now trying to do what The WB couldn't - a Batman-related television series not involving Batman.

This time, the proposed series, The Graysons, explores Dick Grayson before he becomes Robin. The series is being produced by Smallville's Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson as well as Supernatural's McG.

Gotham Clock Tower Webmaster Craig's New Dark Knight Book Is Now Available!
Earlier this year, Gotham Clock Tower webmaster Craig Byrne had the opportunity to work on his first non-Smallville book, and it is now available to order!

The Dark Knight: Featuring Production Art And Full Shooting Script has all of the things that the title implies... not only does it have a reproduction of the script and screenplay (story by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer; script by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan)... it's also full of behind-the-scenes production art and stills from the recent Batman film, The Dark Knight.

The text explaining what you're seeing is by Craig, who would be extremely happy if you pre-ordered a copy! So, get your copy and let's see it return to the top of the charts... and hopefully when you receive yours you'll like what you see!

Order your copy of the Dark Knight book!

The Black Canary Returns To Television!

Bruce Wayne: The Series That Never Was
One of the top questions we'd get for a while there here at K-Site was "When will we see Bruce Wayne/Batman on Smallville?" What many fans never knew is that, before a Young Clark Kent series hit the WB screens, and many years before Birds of Prey, the network had plans to do a series involving the youth of another popular DC Comics icon.

Tying in with the June 15 release of the film Batman Begins, we'll take a look back at the television series that would have told its version of the story of how Batman begun.

Animated Birds of Prey In TV Guide
The May 29, 2005 issue of TV Guide Magazine (you know, the one with yet another Lost cover) has a feature about superhero ladies on movies and TV, and Birds of Prey the TV series is mentioned along with a photo from the series.

In a piece by Rich Sands, the article reveals some good news for fans of Gotham's lady crusaders:

But don't write off the sisterhood yet. This week two Birds of Prey characters, Huntress and Black Canary, headline an exceptional episode of Cartoon Network's superhero cavalcade Justice League Unlimited. The script is by Gail Simone, who writes DC Comics' popular Birds of Prey series, and presents the pair as strong, smart, sexy - and even a bit flawed. JLU producer Bruce Timm says that three-dimensional portrayals - even in a 2-D format - are essential. "You want to be PC, but not too PC," he says. "They can have feet of clay just like the guys."

That issue of TV Guide is now on newsstands. Thanks to Brian for the tip. Check your local listings or CartoonNetwork.com for exact air times for the episode, which is titled "Double Date."

"Batman Begins" Preview To Air With Smallville Finale
Batman returns to WB Wednesday nights, albeit briefly, on May 18.

The WB on that night will be showing a special 90-minute Smallville season finale which includes a ten minute preview of the film "Batman Begins," which hits theaters in June.

DC Unveils New "Bullet" Logo; Birds of Prey To Come To DVD?
DC Comics will soon be adding a "New Look" DC Bullet to their comic books that will also be seen in their television and movie adaptations. It is the first updating of the bullet in nearly 30 years.

An article about the new design appears in the May 9 New York Times. But what is most interesting is a brief mention in the article:

"The first comic book with the new symbol will be in stores on May 25; the full library of titles will receive it the following week. The logo will also be featured on toys, direct-to-video cartoons, DVD releases of television shows like "Birds of Prey," and computer games."

And now an update: The amazing TVShowsOnDVD.com has contacted their Warner sources and it seems there are no plans yet for a Birds of Prey DVD box. We've checked with our own sources and are hearing the same thing; although, there may be a demand for Batman-related product following the new movie, so, it may not be an impossibility!

Updating Again!
Birds of Prey is still cancelled, and it's definitely not coming back, but it was finally time to start posting updates to this site.

Birds, of course, was the short-lived Batman spin-off loosely based on the DC Comic of the same time. Sadly, it didn't achieve the success that Smallville did.

If you hear of any news about the current whereabouts of the Birds of Prey actors, we'll happily post those things. You're also welcome to post on the new KryptonSite Message Board about the Birds!

Stay tuned for more Birds info, and of course we'll keep you updated on the latest projects for Dina, Ashley, Rachel & co.

For those curious... a fanfiction continuation of Birds is now underway. Here's the details, from Adam:
"Coming this fall to Phoenix Virtual Television, in association with Gotham Clocktower and Southern Oracle, the continuing adventures of the Birds of Prey. The first virtual season of the show will present brand new episodes in script format. The official site has been open at www.birdsofpreyvirtualseason.com since late February, but a major redesign was just completed with new content added, so now is the perfect time to check us out. We premiere in September, but there will be regular updates throughout the summer, including episode teasers and spoilers, and interviews with the crew as we take you behind the scenes. You can also interact with the crew and other fans by joining the forum. The revolution continues on Phoenix Virtual Television."
